Unless you’re a Phoenix local, you’ll likely be flying into Phoenix Sky Harbor airport (PHX). Check out the options below and plan how you will arrive to the hotel!

OPTION 1: RIDESHARE (Uber, Lyft and Taxi) 

For a standard ride, estimate 30 minutes of travel time and fares starting around $50. You can request a ride on-demand or schedule in advance.  

Rideshare safety: Always remember to do the S.A.M.I. check! Created in honor of our late sister Samantha Josephson, Theta Omega–University of South Carolina, the #WhatsMyName Foundation promotes a simple safety routine every ride should use: 

  • Stop: Pause and review in-app safety features  

  • Ask: “What’s my name?” To verify your driver is truly your driver.  

  • Match: Confirm vehicle make, model, and license plate number.  

  • Inform: Share your trip status with a sister, family member, or friend.  

 

OPTION 2: SHUTTLE SERVICES (great for groups!) 

If you prefer something pre-booked and structured, check out licensed shuttle providers that offer door-to-door service. ShuttleFare lists multiple options and lets you compare rates easily.

OPTION 3: PUBLIC TRANSIT 

If you’re not in a rush and prefer a more cost-effective option, Valley Metro’s Line 44 bus stops right outside the hotel and costs just $2 one way. Expect about an hour and a half of travel time and follow the steps below to use public transit: 

  • From the PHX terminal, take the free PHX Sky Train to the 44th St/Washingtion Station, which connects directly to Valley Metro routes.  

  • At the station, board the Line 44 bus toward Desert Ridge. Buses run frequently and service operates daily.  

  • Ride until you reach the Marriot Drive & Desert Ridge Marriot stop.
